About this episode
President Trump is in the UK on a State visit, where he’s been hosted by the royal family and is set to meet with Prime Minister Starmer.
The two leaders appear to have a strong relationship. But there's one big issue that’s become a sticking point between them.
Increasingly, free speech in the United Kingdom is a hot button rallying cry among the conservatives in the United States. Why have Republicans in America become so obsessed with free speech across the Atlantic? Especially when a crackdown on speech is kicking off at home.
This programme includes language which some listeners find offensive.
